Can Students Use Grammarly for Proofreading/Editing Their Work?

Students can use Grammarly as a proofreading tool to help them identify spelling and grammar mistakes. Students can also use its recommendations for rephrasing phrases or sentences for conciseness and clarity. 

However, using its AI-generation function to generate ideas, analysis, or whole sentences/paragraphs is not acceptable. The work you submit for grading must be reflective of your own original work and ideas. There is a clear, ethical difference between proofreading/editing your work and using Grammarly to write for you.
